    Please, simply explain to me why someone who has got himself a criminal record growing illegal drugs to service his drug use is not a junkie.

    I'm not the idiot here - it is the twat in court that is the idiot. Nor am I the troll, it was the twat that was in court that has a criminal record that objected to the local paper reporting the fact that he is drug-addicted criminal.
    Actually I repped you! I was going to post but had to shoot off.

    You are either an idiot, for stating that the guy and anyone for that matter who takes drugs is a junkie. The term junkie is someone who is addicted to heroin. Having known somebody who was addicted and who died I am appalled at your misuse of it for someone who is involved in recreational drug usage. There are more people addicted to smoking and drinking then have ever been addicted to drugs! Therefore on your premise you are an idiot!

    Or, you are a troll. Definition : In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response.

    You purposely created the thread specifically to troll the forum.

    In either way the comments are idiotic!

      Of course, Soupy is winding me up. And I fell for it.



      Well done. <insert slow handclap smiley>
      No I am winding you up and you fell for it.

      HTH BIDI

      Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

        Try a dictionary.

        My best mate in school joined the Army; that's where he was introduced to heroin. I wanted him to be my Best Man when I got married at 28 but it was not to be.

        I still miss him.

        So I know where you are coming from.

        Cannabis can fukc up your head; especially if there is already an underlying problem. Sadly, the last government chose to suppress that report.

        That is not an argument for legitimising other substances.

        Why? I choose not to break the law to service my chemical needs.

        Whatever.

        No, I didn't. It was to take the piss out of an idiot who got himself a criminal record and then went online to complain about it being reported.

        My taking the piss out of the idiot in the paper has nothing to do with the friend you lost. Actually, the more anyone argues cannabis is a drug of choice, the bigger an idiot he is for moaning about being prosecuted for growing the stuff.


        I am well aware heroin is not a drug of choice. I have also cried over how it can take over and steal a life.
        My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.

          This topic is always fun when it comes up.

          Surely the mature thing to do is stop breaking the law, and not partake of activities which need you to break the law?
          Not everybody believes that the law is perfect and our lives are too short to wait for the day when attitudes might change to better suit us.

          One hundred years ago I could quite legally have gone to a pharmacy and purchased laudanum, and I probably would have gone through plenty of it. Now, I am only allowed alcohol and nicotine and there are plenty of voices that want to stop me from taking the nicotine.

          My friends that take controlled substances would never touch heroine, the one that did is dead. My issue is that total prohibition results in the supply being dubious and people being ignorant of how to minimise risk.

          Have you ever broken a speed limit when driving? What is the difference between that and the consumption of controlled substances?



          But back to the original topic of this thread, yes the bloke is an idiot for drawing attention to himself but I don't suppose that he is in any position to hire someone like Max Clifford to advise him how to handle the situation.
